Episode #563: Ford Returns To Le Mans / Rolex 24 2025 Review
We got this bad boy out as soon as possible because Ford is coming back to Le Mans as a breaking news story and we wanted to strike while the iron is hot!
On this episode of M101, Dre, RJ, and Cam are back to talk about what Ford coming back means, the natural rivalry with Ferrari rising to the surface, and what a triumph the regulation set has become as Ford becomes the 15th manufacturer to join the Hypercar class since its inception.
We also talk about the Rolex 24, as Porsche goes back-to-back via the Number 7 crew to win its second straight Daytona and their 20th as a marque. We'll mention Acura nearly stealing it all at the end via another Tom Blomqvist late rampage, and BMW's all-out attempts to win it all and just fall short at the end. Also, Lamborghini... man.
All the stories in the other classes are covered too, like LMP2's Tower Motorsports being stripped of their win due to skid block wear, the ridiculous scrap between BMW and Corvette in GTD Pro as Ford take their first class win with the Mustang, and AWA winning in GTD! All that in a loaded Motorsport101!

It's that time again, for the 9th annual Motorsport101 Awards!
Dre, RJ and Cam come together and make sense of the very best, worst, and everything inbetween in the most popular voted M101 Awards show ever, so thank you all so much for your votes!
Does Alex Albon take the Golden Melon for his sidewinder sweep in Canada? Who takes the Golden Cock between stewarding, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, NASCAR, or Christian Horner, and who wins the athlete of the year between Sho Tsuboi, Charles Leclerc, Alex Palou and Max Verstappen?!

Episode #560: F1 2024 Season Review
Have you been listening to M101 for a while? Did you like the good old days when we used to have really long shows? Well today's your lucky day! This is a two and a half hour long marathon special breaking down everything that happened in F1 in 2024!
A full team-by-team breakdown takes place from the struggles of Sauber as they wait for Audi to cash in, to Red Bull Racing and their horrendous power struggle on and off the track. And of course, everything inbetween. Why Nico Hulkenberg and Haas caught so many flowers, why no team was messier than Alpine as the year rolled on, and why Aston Martin struggled so much.
There's also big questions up the front. Just what IS Lewis Hamilton heading into 2025 with Ferrari? Are Oscar Piastri, Lando Norris and George Russell now sitting amongst F1's true elite? And there's no way Max Verstappen can go five straight, right?
All that and MUCH more on one of the biggest and best M101's we've ever done!
